Ok - the problem has been resolved. After following all of your recommendations, I let Windows 7 again assign tcc to the .btm files, and VOILA - it works. The results of the two commands you asked me to type are: echo assoc .btm: %@assoc[.btm] assoc .btm: TCC.Batch echo ftype...

ftype %assoc[.btm] reports TCC.Batch="C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD14x64\TCC.EXE" /c "%1" %* When I double-click on a .btm file, tcm starts, with the tcc prompt, ending up in the right directory (from where I started the batch). but the batch itself is not started. Let windows assign the...

Vince, I deleted all btm_auto_file entries, used tccbatch.btm, and at least the results of assoc .btm and the ftype command look like yours, except for the part to JPSoft. BUT - all it does, when I double-click on a .btm file ist to launch tcc, and then stops at the promt without callicg it...

Steve, thanks for your reply. The results of the two commands are: [D:\]echo assoc .btm: %@assoc[.btm] assoc .btm: btm_auto_file [D:\]echo ftype: %@ftype[%@assoc[.btm]] ftype: "C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD14x64\tcc.exe" "" I checked with regedit the entry for btm_auto_file. btm_auto_file...

I hope someone can help. .btm files are assigned with tcc, but after updating to version 14, when I double-click on a btm-file in explorer, tcc opens, and the batch files is not run, instead it stops at the promt, in the right directoy. So - am I missing something ? It has worked without any...

Thanks a lot for your comments ! This was one of the first scripts I did, and it has worked in the way as ai expected. Actually, the naming worked the way I wanted. There is a backup directory, and for different projects, I use individual subdirectories. And the backup creates a new rar file...

Ok, that was the reason, inside the TCSTART batch there was a c:\ Thanks to all of you for your help ! And have a nice weekend !!!!!

I think the problem can also be defined like this: create a test.bat and a test.btm somewhere on the harddrive except in thr root dir, e.g. c:\temp. All it should do is a <dir> test.bat lists the contents of c:\temp test.btm lists the contents of c:\

ok - here are the files: cyclic_save.btm, which does the backup into rar-archives: @echo off @rem automatic cycling save @rem copying old zip-files @set dest_file=%backup_destination%%N_SAVE%.rar @if exist %dest_file del %dest_file @do i=%N_SAVE% to 1 by -1 @ set...

Thanks for your reply. No, I am not starting from an dsktop icon. I am using different batch files in different directories, because I have to set a list of file types which I want to backup, plus the destination directory. In the previous version, the batchfile started in the directory where...

I am using a batch file for cyclig backups. The btm (save) file is located in the directory, and from within the file I call another batchfile which does all the work. Before updating to version 12, the directory, the command line window ended up in the directory, wherre the (save) btm file is...
